I'm sittin on my porch watchin' the law As they ride past in they patrol cars So tell me why I feel like the enemy They supposed to be here protectin' me I might have went too far Helpin' to contribute to makin' their job hard Servin' fiends like these people ain't no kin to me I can't believe I'm out here killin' my community If you knew how far I came (far I came) From where I am and where I used to be (where I used to be) I don't want it, you can tell by the look at me This gangsta life ain't no longer in me

And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby ya gotta believe me

I know there's things I could've changed girl I know there's things I could've done a lot better Instead I'm in the streets tryin' to make that cheddar Thinkin' in my mind that you gon' be there forever I know I could've let it all go (let it all go) But I was thinkin' it would make life better (make life better) Instead I'm sittin' in this cell writin' this letter Thought I wouldn't get caught cause I was way too clever I learned there's no one to catch ya when ya fallin' And they'll be no one to hear you when you're callin' Do you know what it's like to wake up in the mornin' While you're starvin' you're hearin' bugs crawlin' Reminiscin' on them days you was walkin' With pretty women on your arm while you're flossin' Thankful that I didn't end up in a coffin Somethin' we see too often

And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby ya gotta believe me

Said I'm tiredSaid I'm tiredI said I'm tiredSo tired, yeah

And I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby you gotta believe me Said I'm tired of the runnin', tired of the runnin' Tired of the runnin', runnin' from the law Baby ya gotta believe me
